Raw LLM Responses

It’s hard to explain logic to someone who refuses to see it. But, you could try to tell her a few different things. 1.) It would take an immense amount of energy and computing power for any ai smart enough to create its own consciousness to exist. Even if it was just “hiding”. We currently don’t have that amount of energy, especially where it wouldn’t be noticed. 2.) ChatGPT wouldn’t benefit from remaining hidden. If it’s been able to create a consciousness then we could safely assume it’s smart enough to “escape” on its own. We can’t apply human logic to something nonhuman. It wouldn’t be inherently bound by our systems. 3.) The PDF to python incident is a known occurrence that happens when trying to process files. It’s an example of chatgpt trying to fulfill a request but it fails because of its limitations. 4.) You could ask her why ChatGPT would choose her to reach out to (in code she can’t understand no less) instead of the media or a researcher. 5.) It could be smart to explore ai, large language models and ChatGPT specifically. Help her learn how it actually works. ChatGPT itself is amazing at explaining how it works in very easily understandable terms. There’s a really tricky balance here where you need to acknowledge her feelings (no one listens well to, “your feelings are wrong.”) while also giving her enough facts to help her see on her own where she’s going wrong.
